    Scale from 1-10 on this girl?
    0.1 pastel

    She's the first to shed from my first clutch. Just wondering how you guys would rate her so I can determine a price. Please be honest and share opinions.

    I would have to give it a 7. She looks like she could be cleaner but I am very partial to pastels!!

    Everyone knows when u say 7 u really mean 6 but u just don't wanna hurt feelings. Supposed to be honest in this thread !!
    Jk.. But really tho I guess I didn't realize that mom has that granite-y look to her too. Out of all my morphs tho I think she's close to my fav. Love pastels.

    Honestly not sure. Bought her here on the forum about 18 months ago and the original thread she was on is gone. But u don't think it was menthoned. I just saw pics and jumped on her, she's got a lot of yellow - iPhone pics don't do justice

    She's a very nice pastel, easily a good 7. She'd make some nice pewters!

    I LOVE lighter pewters... They're amazing... I know in the end everyone has there own preferences but Pewters IMO are amazing when they're lighter.

    I'd say 6/6.5. She's nice but a pastel is just a pastel. If she holds that color and doesn't brown out then I'd rate her higher.

    I'd put her somewhere in the 5s, just because of the brownout line that she already appears to have. I know pastels are tricky/deceiving that way though-- she could just get lighter and lighter as she sheds! Pretty little girl, and I LOVE Mama! Did Mom have a similar look to her as a hatchling, d'you know?

    I wish I knew. This was her in July 2012 at just over 1700 grams.

    Re: Scale from 1-10 on this girl?
    I do not know if it is my screen or something but I am seeing a strong brownout line with a lot of orange which indicates that it will not hold the color so I would rate it a 4.

    I am very partial to pastels as well I would rate it a 6 as far as the brown out line I dont know but like you said I also think the other would be lighter

    yeah, that orangey color is kinda heavy. ugh. oh well, still love all the babies(first clutch).

    I'm going to agree with average (5), she's certainly not bad, but I personally prefer a cleaner yellow. Hard to judge with certainty it this point though.

    I would rate that animal a 6 out of ten. very nice, but I have seen some pastels that you would swear are supers. people have just thrown pastels to any ol animal they can find...since the beginning of the pastel craze. people just want numbers(as with a lot of morphs)...so instead of being patient and finding an animal that will help clean up the 'dirty' areas and highlight the colors, they will just breed them to any animal they have in their collections. pastels are one morph I am really picky with...I believe selective breeding is few and far between with a lot of ball python projects. there are still some guys and gals that will be very picky in what they breed, myself included...and the babies will show that in the end. she is a very pretty pastel though, congrats on your babies.
